A good day.

I always ask Kiran on the way home from daycare if he had a good day. Most days he finds a reason that is was NOT a good day...he fell, someone stepped on his foot, etc. Today when I asked he said, "Yeah, it was a good day! I didn't hurt myself...Somebody nelse (yes, he says nelse) didn't hurt myself..." I couldn't help but laugh.

On the same drive a Green Day song came on. Kiran has a bit of a man-crush (if you can have a man-crush at the age of 3) on Billy Joe but he has a hard time remembering his name. So, he asked me, "Who's that guy with the spikey hair?" I told him it was Billy Joe. He said, "Yeah, Billy Joe. I like him, he sings good songs."

We had fun time after we got home playing with new playdoh, watching the Backyardigans, and bathtime. Bedtime was a struggle for a while the past couple of weeks, but Nishu brilliantly got out an old MP3 player and we turn on some music when we're done telling stories. Works like a charm...he's gone down like an angel without all the stall tactics since we gave him the MP3 player. And he's quite proud of it - he's learned how to turn it on and off by himself...
